Abstract :Environmental considerations in the enforcement of competition regulations have recently become one of the most controversial debate topics in the European Union after the adoption of the new Horizontal Guidelines. There are serious competition law concerns that are deemed to surface with the relaxation of the competition enforcement and any amendment of the enforcement of competition regulations shall be made with prudence. Environmental considerations in the enforcement of competition regulations shall be necessary to some extent for creating more room for particular sustainability agreements where there is no way of doing so by other means. The amendments made to the European Horizontal Guidelines show prudence while satisfying the need for environmental considerations for particular sustainability agreements, however some amendments shall be revised to relieve serious competition law concerns.
